We paid £19m for a 20 year old Brazilian international last season and he was a massive flop,so a 28 year old done it all seen it all striker who has never played in the Prem. either could flop too, for me any striker who scores 15 goals or more in this league is a success no matter what fee has been paid, and nothing is a nailed on cert. I would rather us be discussing Benzema but K sera.

No we wouldn't, the revenue alone from shirt sales will add up too a hell of a lot, Eto'o is adored in Africa.

On a serious note, Eto's wages may be justified by the global impact he is going to have. Many dont realise the impact the robinho signing had here in India. The Eto signing will be even better. So nothing wrong in paying him what he asks. add to that he can score score a truckload as well. win -win.
what was the impact of Robinho signing like mate? alot of bandwagon jumpers? more city shirts seen round or just that Citys name become more known?

TBH mate there are alot of shirt sales in Africa just at a lower price. I watched Ross kemp on gangs last monday and there was numerous people wearing the new united shirt. 1 even had Tevez on his shirt.oaksie2 said:Shirt sales in Africa??!! fook me that is a belter.MCFC-alan88 said:oaksie2 said:I know what the Everton lad is saying, and at the ridiculous prices and wages being touted about (could be and probably is all bollox) then Eto'o would have to score 50 goals next season or else he would be an overpriced over the hill donkey who never adapted to the Premier League.
